Looks good in the summer when you're wearing some nice shorts. Of course, it has to be one that is cut to be worn untucked.

I'll wear one sometimes with pants but I don't do it a lot.

Definitely not talking about wearing it as a replacement for a dress shirt

Crazy. Next you people will be telling me not to wear a tie with my white short sleeve shirt.

Tucked in? never. Untucked but buttoned up like the 5+ beach dad above? frick yes. Untucked and unbuttoned with a T shirt underneath?

Undecided.

I agree with your assessment of being tucked.

Yes if untucked and in a casual environment.

No if tucked in and in a business or formal/semi-formal environment.

Untucked with shorts, yes, can't believe I'm advocating an un-tucked shirt!
Guayaberas for the win!! Cool, breezy, comfortable, formal wear from Miami to points south.

Even better with a couple cigars in the top pocket.

HUGE distinction here.

Is the OP talking about a semi-casual shirt meant to be worn untucked with shorts in lieu of a polo shirt or T-shirt? Answer is YES, I think it is dressier than either of the two other options.

If he is (God Forbid) talking about a short-sleeved dress shirt, then the answer is a resounding NO! This doesn't even begin to address the egregiousness of wearing slacks and a tie with a short-sleeved shirt. That doesn't bear discussion.

Same. Not liked tucked in with khaki pants or anything. But with shorts and flip flops.

I feel for the guys who are required to wear dress shirts and ties during the middle of the summer. Like an earlier poster said, car salesmen, or teachers who work in labs. have no good sartorial options.
